🌍 I’m Pasha, originally from Ukraine, and I’ve lived in Germany, China, and now Sweden. Over the years I’ve met people from dozens of cultures, and it only made me more curious to meet even more. I’ve tried myself in different roles — chef, teacher, customer support, sales, interpreter — each one giving me new perspectives. I love traveling and have explored across Asia, Europe, and North America. What connects all of this is my curiosity, openness, and a love for meaningful experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🤝 I’m here to meet new people, share knowledge and experiences, and spend fun time together. Having lived in Stockholm for four years, I can compare how I first saw the city with what I know now — and I enjoy sharing that insight with curious travelers. The same goes for other places I’ve lived — I love giving people the inside view you can’t find in a guidebook.
